Question: In 1875, Daniel Peter produced the first milk chocolate bar using powdered milk. What nationality was he?

English

Swiss

Scottish

French

Incorrect Answer

Correct Answer The idea of combining chocolate and milk was not an entirely new concept, as between 1849 and 1875 the Cadbury Brothers sold a milk chocolate drink. But the Swiss chocolate bar was a huge success in Britain, and in 1898, Cadbury Brothers responded with their own chocolate bar. They sent George Cadbury Jr. on a fact-finding mission to Switzerland. Eventually in 1905, they produced a bar with a flavour to rival the Swiss chocolate, using fresh milk rather than powdered. Cadbury's Dairy Milk chocolate was born.
